Hello. I am bishop Killen for the Prune Hill ward in Camas Washington. I was able to be with both of your sons this morning. We had a good breakfast together and were able to talk about all the work that they did this week for our ward. I want to let you know how much I appreciate your sons and what fine elders they are. They are a blessing to have in our area.
Last week we went on a cool hike so you might get some more pictures of that. Wow what a week! It has been a great one. We have been busy as ever trying to find people. So last week this lady came up to us and wanted us to come by. She has been less active for a while. She wants her kid to be baptized. So we sent her to the bishop and they talked it out. She wanted us to teach her son. So we went over there to teach "him" , but we were really going to teach her. Her son is a bonus. We had a good lesson with them and the husband who isn't against the church but is uncomfortable being at church was present and opened up. That is a miracle!! We had a zone meeting and it was good. The rest of the day we spent visiting people.
Wednesday-
We got a couple of referrals to go by. It was really sweet. That never happens. We then went on splits and it was a good couple of hours of people not being home. But the priest we were with wanted to knock on some doors. Right before we had to leave we talked to a lady.
Thursday-
It was hot and, did I mention hot?! It was like 98 at least, with high humidity. But we had a good lesson with a guy who we have been trying to teach. Then we went on splits with the Ward mission leader. It was a good night but nothing really happened.
Friday-
We planned for the week. Then had another lesson. We actually had teaching appointments. That is awesome usually we don't have anything set.
Saturday-
We were on an exchange. I stayed with Elder Miner. We went through the day with it being blazing hot and all. We tried by a bunch of people and talked to everyone we could. We went by to talk with the previous bishop in one of the wards. We were sweating buckets and asked for some water. He pulled us in and gave us referrals. It was way cool. That never happens. Then we went by his referrals and tried to get in contact there. Nobody was home, but it was all good. Then after dinner we had a plan but we diverted from it. We stopped by a less active’s house. She wasn't t there.
Then we went by this guy we have tried by a hundred times. He has never been home. It turns out that this guy has lived there for like 9 years. We just have really bad records. But it was awesome! We taught him about the Book of Mormon. He just opened right up to us. We then talked to a few people and ended the night.
Sunday-
So I don't know if I have laid out an exact schedule for us on Sunday. We woke up at 6 because we had a meeting at 7. It was PEC and Ward council was after. So we were in a meeting from 7-8:45. For breakfast we had some quick toast to get out the door. Then at 9 church starts. We are pretty normal until 11:30 in which we have another meeting, so we dip out and go to Ward council. Then that lasts about an hour. So like 12:45 ish we come out. We have to have a member bring us some sandwiches because it is impossible to go home and eat. And if they forget, we basically fast. Then we go through the rest of the block. And we leave the building about four thirty. We were there for nine
hours. Haha it is the weirdest thing.
